9 years ago the first Bitcoin block was mined and this one at that time did not have a very significant value, right now they are $ 760,000, an amount that is very high and with the rapid growth of this currency I would not be surprised that within a year and a half get to the million $. It should be noted that in the beginning when a "block" was mined, you were given 50 Bitcoin, but with the passage of time, due to its growth, the% went down and remained in 12 Bitcoin for each block mined.
Many people do not trust mining because of the high cost of the services needed to obtain it, such as equipment (a computer with very good characteristics) and electricity consumption. However this does not stop or stop the mining and therefore the growth of this currency, its impact has been so great that throughout the network you see users sharing links, giving information, teaching mining etc.
In my opinion bitcoin does not lack much to become the world currency and displace $ from the position where it has been in recent years, I read several articles where it is said that bitcoin would be the currency that would solve most of the problems of the market.
I can only say, Happy Birthday BTC, you are bigger than anyone who was born 9 years ago and you will continue to grow, but more congratulations to the users that "mine" this coin, you are the happy ones of the story.
Greetings and to your liking this post.
